Today is the day of the Su family's martial arts competition.
The Su family competition is an elimination tournament, lasting three days. Three people at the Innate Realm directly occupy the three spots in the top eight to four, while the remaining four spots are decided on the mornings of the first and second days. In order not to dampen the enthusiasm of others for this competition, the Su family created a ranking system. The more people advance, the higher their ranking, and the different cultivation resources they receive.
The afternoon of the second day was for the opponents to spar, and the daytime of the third day was for the four to advance to the second round. After resting until the afternoon, the next guardian was decided.
In the afternoon, Xie Wei sat in the private room of the Su family, leaning back on the sofa, watching the figures fighting in the arena. To his left, Su Tang was feeding Xie Wei peeled grapes.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to express this by comparing grapes being exchanged between the two people's lips and teeth.
Su Miaomiao didn't need to play today, so she sat to Xie Wei's right, leaning against him, occasionally watching the battle on the field, and occasionally wiping the juice left on Xie Wei's lips.
Perhaps it would be more apt to describe it as using the tip of one's tongue to lick the juice from the corner of his lips.
Life is so unpleasant.
Normally, Xie Wei's status as a member of the Xie family would not have been sufficient for him to enter the Su family compound to watch the martial arts competition.
However, with the persuasion of the two sisters, Su Tang and Su Miaomiao, the old man had no choice but to compromise. He thought it was for the sake of friendly exchanges between the two families. Given the relationship between the two families and Xie Wei's relationship with the two women, he was not an outsider. Moreover, the two women's parents would be returning for this competition.
The fact that his two beloved granddaughters spoke up for Xie Wei infuriated Grandpa Su. It was one thing to let one cabbage go, since he was the one who created the opportunity for them, but he couldn't let the rest of the seedlings go too.
During the day, Xie Wei took the two women to meet their parents. Since the three of them were already in this relationship, they naturally had to get past the elders' approval, otherwise it would be improper.
Su's father was a stern man, while Su's mother was rather gentle.
The two girls' parents were indeed as Su Miaomiao described, treating each other with utmost respect.
However, Xie Wei had a different opinion; the feelings between the two might be deeper than imagined.
When Su's mother is facing Su's father, she unconsciously makes some small expressions on her face, which have a hint of coquetry in them. Su Miaomiao inherited this trait from her mother.
Father Su's eyes were somewhat serious, intimidating, and sharp, but when he looked at Mother Su and the Su sisters, his sharp eyes would soften, and when facing Mother Su, the corners of his taut lips would slightly curl up.
There's a saying that goes like this—
Loving someone means constantly feeling indebted to them.
In their relationship, the stronger emotion they felt was a sense of indebtedness towards each other, which gave outsiders the impression of a respectful but distant relationship.
He also went to see Old Master Su and the Su family's protectors.
Grandpa Su was still the same, but when he looked at Xie Wei, there was a hint of temper in his eyes, which puzzled Xie Wei. He had been quite easy to talk to last time they met.
Xie Wei had never met the protector of the Su family before. Legend has it that he did not like to travel and preferred to stay in the Su family and join the younger generation in their fun. At first, Xie Wei thought he was the kind of kind, approachable, and gentle old man.
When I actually met him, he was indeed kind and approachable, and he certainly looked like an old man. Gentle? Not really. To be more accurate, he was a playful old man.
The protectors of the Su family, however, were full of praise for Xie Wei, constantly exclaiming that the Xie family had produced a genius in this generation.
Xie Wei was a little embarrassed by the praise.
...
The competition was in full swing, but Xie Wei had no interest in paying attention to what was happening on the field. The way the two women were taking care of him was about to ignite his anger.
He dared not do anything outrageous in this room. Given the disapproving look Grandpa Su gave him this morning, the other party might have someone watching this room all the time.
Xie Wei was right. In another room, Grandpa Su and Su's father, who had heard the news, had serious expressions on their faces. Their eyes met, as if they had already pronounced Xie Wei's death sentence.
Moreover, the fighting in the arena was like children's fighting to Xie Wei now.
Xie Wei isn't bragging, but with his current level of skill, no one in this arena could defeat him if they all attacked together.
However, there was something to learn from Su Miaomiao, which is why he had the patience to stay here and enjoy the attentive service.
After the martial arts competition ended, Xie Weicai recovered from his cultivation, lazily yawned, and stretched comfortably.
He then had dinner with the two women, and afterwards returned to his room alone.
Su Miaomiao has a competition tomorrow, so Su Tang and Xie Wei will stay at the Su family home with her. This was planned in advance, and the sisters in the family also agreed.
There are only two rooms on the second floor of the west wing: the one facing south is Su Miaomiao's room, and the one facing north is Su Tang's room.
The Su family's house is laid out like a traditional courtyard house, but the passageways between the south and west rooms are connected, forming a total of three floors, while the passageways between the east and north rooms are connected, forming a total of two floors.
This is to make it easier to distinguish the residences of elders and younger generations.
Xie Wei's room was no longer the one next to Su Miaomiao's. Old Master Su arranged for him to move to the room on the third floor in the south, near the far end of the east wing.
It was the room furthest from the two sisters and closest to the elders, making it the most prestigious room among the younger generation.
Xie Wei could only smile wryly at this arrangement; how much Grandpa Su must have worried about him!
And even if he really wanted to do something, could such an arrangement stop him?
Putting aside whether he could stop him or not, he wasn't a beast. Su Miaomiao had a competition tomorrow, so he definitely couldn't touch her. As for Su Tang, although she was much healthier, he still felt she should gain a few more pounds.
Old Master Su, being an experienced man, certainly understands that they are currently in their prime, full of youthful vigor. This arrangement is merely a warning to Xie Wei, telling him not to do anything out of line.
Although he was a bit annoyed by the two women during the day, Xie Wei had no choice but to make his little brother suffer by taking a cold shower to calm down.
After taking a shower, Xie Wei sat at the desk next to the bed, reading a book, with a glass of cold water beside him.
He doesn't like drinking tea at night because it makes him a little sleepy. Although staying up late doesn't really affect his health, he still enjoys sleeping, so he uses boiled water instead.
Before I could even turn a few pages, I heard a rustling sound behind me.
It seemed the other party was losing patience. Xie Wei found it somewhat amusing, so he covered his body with a thin quilt, thinking that the other party wouldn't be able to spot him.
'It must be Miaomiao. Susu is smarter; if she's going to hide, she'll hide in the closet.'
"Alright, come out now, don't hold it in." Xie Wei walked to the bedside and patted the part of the blanket that was sticking out like a human.
"Hmph!" The person inside the blanket seemed unconvinced and grabbed all the edges and corners of the blanket, as if trying to wrap herself up inside.
"I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again." Her voice was excessively gentle, and her tone was truly alluring. Xie Wei was indeed good at coaxing people.
The blanket was loosened, revealing a face that was flushed from being stuffy but was still pretty.
